Default Full flaps?

I'm thinking of having a full flap holster made for my 5" Model 10. It's not a CCW piece but a carry around the farm gun. A buddy said to bring him a picture of what I want and he'll make it.
So help me out. How about some pictures of full flap rigs?
Thanks!

Look in the Misc For Sale section... Forum member Robbt has one of those RCMP flap holsters for a 5" K-Frame in his list.

ISPCapt,

Here is a Tex Shoemaker 46K5 flap holster for 5" K-frames that accomodates either fixed or target sights . . . magna or target stocks.












I know yours is for an M&P but . . . if you're having one made . . . you might want to consider a rear target sight shelf/rest. It is a feature of many high quality holsters and works well with either the 5" narrow rib Combat Masterpiece or the 5" Heavy rib K-38 (that some of us refer to as the ISP K-38)




If you want it to work with target stocks it'll have to have a skosh more room than this Shoemaker on the butt end.





Good luck,

Russ


edit to add: if it'll help I'll send you this Shoemaker so your holster maker can take measurements . . . as soon as I get done with clipping pastures next week.

Russ has some good advice and a nice offer to boot.
This is one of my favorite flap holsters, coincidentally made for a 5" M & P. Made by SD Myres, left hand, fully lined, with the logo stamped on the flap.

Regards,
turnerriver

Thanks for the offer Russ.
What I'm kind of leaning towards is a pancake style with a full flap. The pancake would ride higher cross draw and in close.
I'm just interested in seeing what others have in case someone has a design I haven't thought about.
Appreciate the pictures. Nice rigs.

This is not a full flap holster but may better meet your ride higher cross draw preference.

Early post-war 5” M&P with Heiser holster

I kind of like that one. It rides a bit higher. Shouldn't be any problem for my buddy to make it a full flap.
